Mt Pinos or Mt Frazier.  Also Lockwood Valley...all are easily
accessible from the 5 freeway not far from Gorman.  This is the area
the L.A. Astronomical Society uses, and is about midway between
Bakersfield and L.A., so gets about equal light pollution from both.

Joshua Tree is another good choice...
